What is the inner core spinning faster than the rest of the Earth? A 500
This is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object. B 100
What is heat transfer? B 100
These are the three types of heat transfer. B 200
What are radiation, conduction, and convection? B 200
This is an example of radiation. B 300

What are plate boundaries? E 200
This is a deep valley that forms when two plates pull apart. E 300
What is a rift valley? E 300
This is a break in the Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other. E 400
